# TokenDelete

> TokenDeleteTransaction is the Hedera Token Service protobuf message used to mark an existing HTS token as deleted on the Hedera network.

Marks a token as deleted, though it will remain in the ledger.

The operation must be signed by the specified Admin Key of the Token. If admin key is not set, Transaction will result in `TOKEN_IS_IMMUTABlE`.

Once deleted update, mint, burn, wipe, freeze, unfreeze, grant kyc, revoke kyc and token transfer transactions will resolve to `TOKEN_WAS_DELETED`.
